The Renkioi Hospital, was a complex of innovative prefabricated buildings designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for use during the Crimean War (1853-56). Brunel had been moved by the heavy casualties and even higher deaths via disease during the war, and his 1,000-bed hospital included the latest ideas in ventilation and sanitation as advocated by such nursing pioneers as Florence Nightingale. #History #RenkioiHospital #CrimeanWar #Hospital #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Renkioi_Hospital/

I have a relative who was a cavalry soldier in the 13th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He served during the Crimean War where his regiment took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade. He was in Scutari hospital when battle took place. Imagine the day of the battle, how this man might have felt as his friends and comrades came into the hospital after the battle. A history of ordinary people where we can easily place ourselves?

I'm a big fan of https://historycolored.com/photos/. The b/w pictures really come to life when colored. Think about this picture from 1856. Imagine these men should wear a Ukrain soldiers outfit. Sadly, nothing has changed in all these hundreds of years. War is always about (shortages of) money, religion, false historical claims, natural resources......
